David Lawrence: Oh no. I mean first of all what*s the big deal. I mean you are getting it for free. Don*t you think it*s worth all those Pop Up Ads and what not? And believe me Clipboard Buddy isn*t the only piece of software that CNET and PCWorld and look CNET and PCWorld both push Kazaa and Morpheus and Grokster and eDonkey all software that A illegally contributes to the process of violating copyright and B just destroys your machine with Pop Up Ads, Adwares, the Malware, Spyware. They just promote it because it makes them money. Every time there is a new page that come, have you ever noticed like when you go to PCWorld or CNET and you want to download something. You click on that download button. How many different pages do you go through before you actually get to the page that lets you download it? Do you ever notice there*s like two or three?

Bill: I haven*t done it before. I got it out of the magazine, the print version and they just send URL.

David Lawrence: Yeah but you have to go to the URL. Once you get there though oh you want to download this, great let*s click on this button. And then it takes you to another page and says where do you want to download it from. Then it goes to another button okay your download is going to begin in just a second, if it doesn*t click here. All of those pages are fully laden with advertisements. They are hoping that you will forget all about the fact that you wanted to download Clipboard Buddy. And your eyes will be drawn to that funky ad for Vonage or Vonage or some other advertiser. This is all in desire to make money on their part. So now here is the question. Can you take Clipboard Buddy, go to the last menu item and is there something that says register? And if you register does it remove all that stuff? I don*t trust that process. I don*t trust that when you actually register the software that they remove, the Adware and the Spyware. Because they get into bet with these sleazy companies that put systems on your computer that work very well when it*s ad-supported but then when you say like okay time to turn the ads off, oh well we can*t do that very well. You know there is always seems to be some problem with that. There always seems to be some break in the system where when you actually go and register the software, pay your 20 bucks or whatever to turn off the ads. Well we can*t seem to quite get that part right. It really galls me how just decrepit the shareware and software companies have become and how some of them are just blatantly lying to you that if you register the software all the ads will disappear. So now the question is how do you get rid of all these right?

Bill: Okay I tried all the Norton stuff. It doesn*t work.

David Lawrence: No stop. Did you remove Clipboard Buddy?

Bill: It won*t remove.

David Lawrence: At all?

Bill: Not even in Safe Mode.
